Div 2\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
The three teams at the bottom of the Division were all in action this week\u00a0Selbourne<\/strong>,\u00a0Rawreth F<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Hullbridge A,<\/strong>\u00a0but only Rawreth finished with a win to further ease their relegation fears. They now sit 13 points clear of bottom of the table Selbourne but just 3 points behind Hullbridge and with a massive 5 games in hand!Now seeming to have resolved their early season selection problems\u00a0Rawreth F<\/strong>\u00a0chalked up their fourth win on the trot by beating\u00a0Runnymede<\/strong>\u00a07-2. Hat tricks by Adi Kamma, Colin Barham and a single win from Jan Thorpe swept their opponents aside although Barrie Edgar and Tina Hutchinson shared a point each for Runnymede. Tina had to fight particularly hard against Jan even bizarrely suffering an 11\/0 defeat in the fourth leg of their match before winning the decider 11\/9! The only problem for Rawreth may be how they play their backlog of games before the season ends.Selbourne<\/strong>\u00a0seem cut off at the bottom of the table and went down to another defeat 7-2 at\u00a0Wakering<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t a straightforward win as four games went to five sets with honours split between the two sides. Zac England led the way for Wakering with a hat trick and he got good support from Paul England and Andy Deadman who both won two games. Jenne Seibolt won both points for Selbourne, both in five sets and coming back from 2-1 down also in both. Wakering move up to third in the table.Another 7-2 result as highfliers\u00a0Hadleigh Forum C<\/strong>\u00a0beat the young\u00a0Hullbridge A<\/strong>\u00a0side. Dave Thomas returned from injury to turn in a POTM performance, Graham Farmer also picked up a hat trick and there was a single win for Satwant Gill. Alexander Deacon, on his debut, and Jack Riley won a point each for Hullbridge. Hadleigh stay in second place behind RESSC whilst Hullbridge stay above Rawreth and Selbourne and are 6 points behind Stanford B.
Div 3\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>A good team performance saw\u00a0Invicta C<\/strong>\u00a0record a 6-3 victory over\u00a0MegaZone<\/strong>.\u00a0 The trio of Keith Baxter, Brendan Raja and Trisha Winter won 2 games each with Keith taking the POM award.\u00a0 For MegaZone, there were 2 wins for Amar Al-Soufi and a single win for Ro Brett who was making her first appearance of the season.A hat-trick from\u00a0Canvey C<\/strong>s Che Martin was the mainstay of his sides 6-3 win over\u00a0Hockley E.<\/strong>\u00a0 He was well supported by Ray Baker who added 2 wins and Reuben Teixeira who chipped in with another.\u00a0 Barry Crawley was the best player on the night for Hockley with a brace to add to the single win from Keith Denyer.Invicta B\u00a0<\/strong>recorded an emphatic 9-0 win over a struggling\u00a0Hadleigh Forum D<\/strong>\u00a0side.\u00a0 David Barnes, Mike Keeble, and Steve Lennox were just too good on the night.\u00a0 There was no lack of effort from the Forum players and Dean Johnson was unfortunate, losing in close 5-setters to both Steve and Mike.The match between\u00a0Hullbridge B<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rawreth G<\/strong>\u00a0did not go ahead due to a misunderstanding over the venue for the match.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
